Modeus sighed deeply. “I know….I’ve fought before….But it no longer appeals to me.” he bowed slowly. Then looked back to the Orc and others. “Everyone here treated it equals…okay.” he stated more stating then asking. He looked back to Draken and forced a small smile upon his lips. Before turning back toward the table he was once at. A few vampires mumbling something under there voices. And a few others, drunk, no less, were giggling and boasting about some nonsense or another.
[sorry so short I gtg I’ll be back soon or tonight I hope^^]

Draken watched the man leave to sit down. He walked over beside Raven who was "Negotating". with the Argonian. "I shall take those daggers over there, what kind of arrows are those?". She asked him. The Argonia turned around and reached for the arrows. "Rose of Sithis arrows, very sharp and very swift, rumored to send its target screaming into the void". He said with a raspy voice. "I`ll take all of them". She said. "Offcourse..". Said the Argonian, handing her the arrows. Draken got his katana and Raven gave the Argonian her two Scimitars. "Repair these". She demanded, handing him the weapons. The Argonian got them and went to the back, hammering away. Sharpining it.
Draken looked around, this was truly a good place to be at. A marketplace, a black market for vampiric or shady criminals of al sorts...a living hide of scum and villainy, but many times not everyone was a villain. Raven took her items and ran to the jewerly area. "What do you have, your best items?". Raven asked the Imperial girl. "All kinds of rings, bracelets and necklaces, enchanted or just to uprgrade your self appearance, make it better to lure in prey". She said.
Raven grinned. "I shall take those two of the rings, the black ones and that red necklace."
Draken walked beside her. "Ah, that outfit over there..the black one with the golden lines on the middle, how much it is?". He asked. The Imperial woman smiled, showing her fangs. "Four hundred and twenty one gold". She said. Draken pulled out his sack of gold and counted them, he set it on the wooden counter and handed it to her. Raven also bought herself a black dress, fancy and noble, only the wealthy could afford it. It drew much attention to her but Raven always dealt with mad men. Draken walked past the tables with the many vampires drinking away, some even where drunk! arm wrestling and shattering bottles. Both of them walked up to the drink area, where they sold potions and poisons as well as bottles of human and bestfolk blood. "Give me those bottles of blood right there! four of each race". She said. The Nord male grabbed the blood bottles and handed it to Draken. Raven`s hands where already full.
Both of them spent their gold like there was no tommorow, they where wealthy and rich, collecting gold and making a living for three hundred years and they did not even spend one third of their gold. "How are we suppose to carry all these items to the lair?". Draken asked. Raven sighed and took a seat at the empty table in the corner. "We buy a horse and pack our things, then we head back home, after that...I really dont know, we could go to Skyrim and pick up Vaultren and Irvana". She said.
Draken opened one of the bottles and started to drink. "Skyrim and then we head to Hammerfell". He said, taking a sip and gulping it down. "Why do you choose Hammerfell? the sun burns there like no other place and its hot and barren". She said, wrapping her new necklace around her neck. "I have unfinished buisness there." He said.
Raven looked at him deeply, she was concerned. "Juliana?". She asked. Draken nodded positively.

Modeus sat with the group at his table, talking seldom still, but talking, he also seemed more relaxed now, and others had started to calm themselves too. “Without you we’d have a few more causalities then we already do.” chuckled one male Nord vampire, and guzzled down some more blood. “Well I don’t know about that…I’m not that demeaning.” he smiled and waved a small hand. “haha well least your not just taking up room, like that brother of yours, he’s all brawn no brain.” they laughed. Modeus sighed. “he’s not….that…heheh..’ he sighed.
“So Modeus…” someone asked and paused. Modeus took a drink of water from his glass as he looked up to the male. “Any female vampires…well you know?” he man asked boldly with a rude chuckle. Modeus coughed nearly choked to death there for a moment before shaking his head. “no!” he gasped then looked away a little annoyed at the question. “I’m kidding I’m kidding!” he Nord bellowed. And laughed at Modeus’ clear embarrassment. “Not only that could you Imagine my brother? If he knew it, if someone did bite me?” he sighed and shook his head as the others blinked wide eyed hating to imagine it.
“so those Nobles over there…you know them?” the Nord asked, Modeus shook his head. “what would you have done he not backed down Mod?” the Nord laughed. “uhg…most likely had become a midnight snack.” he smirked. “I…” Modeus giggled then smiled dumbly. “I wouldn’t have fought him anyways!” he giggled the others started laughing. And shook there heads then waved over at Draken or Raven whoever was looking.

Raven frowned and punched Draken slightly in the arm. "What will you do when you find her? How do you plan your grabd revenge and your honor`s restoration?". Draken raised his glass of blood to his face. "Rip her head off then limb from limb". He said angrily, his mouth shaking. Raven laughed. "Your pathetic! if you stuck by me for awhile, I could of taught you a few things about torture and suffering and to bathe in a glorious revenge!". She boasted proudly. Draken scoffed. "Surely you would know what torture is, must of been a burden..such a curse to not feed or feast on anything for three decades..you came out of the dungeon old and wrinkled, you appeared to be older than the emperor himself". He snorted. Raven punched him again, harder than before.
"That is why father will pay dearly for all of his treachery!. I will aid you on your quest in Hammerfell, in return you wil help me overthrow father and take his place as the new rulers of the clan..no more council! we can make things our way." She said. Draken stared at her and shook his head. "Father is deceased, he has been gone all this time and he has not been heard of since, mother hasn`t either. What is stopping you?". Raven sighed and poured another cup.
"Father has the ceremonial seal and that trinket he carries on his neck..we need that in order for us to take his place. He must of taken it with him. Knowing father as well as I do, he is hiding. That is why he sent us away to Valenwood years ago, that is why he wanted to get rid of us, sending us on these perilous yet foolish quests and tasks for him. He wanted to get rid of me, you Irvana & Vaultren, the only heirs to his throne in the clan. That is why he fled and tried to silence mother so she would not open her tongue. He is awaiting our deaths and I fear soon he will send his lackeys to silence us. There is no doubt in that, we must warn Irvana and Vaultren before they are killed." Raven warned, things where getting serious.
Draken nodded. "I never knew mother would be involved in this".
Raven grinned. "She is not involved, I know her well. Father is overwhelmed by his own greed, he is willing to wipe out his own offspring in order to keep his precious position. The murder of our clan years ago was part of his plot! Juliana was probably bribed, he knew how much that imperial wench was to you that he took advantage of it. She warned the town, father fled, taking mother with him and now we where led to believe that it was all your fault. The coucil banished us, exiled us for something we never done. We where deceived". She told him. "Soon we shall take our rightful place and our devine right to rule". Raven whispered.
"Cheers! to immortality and to power!". She said, raising her cup of blood. Draken raised his and slightly collided his cup with hers. Both of them drank almost simultaneously. Raven glanced over at Mordius. "We need all the allies we can get..or simply enjoy ourselves tonight with a good talk...it has been awhile since we spoke with our own kind." Draken cleared his throat. "Ally? Raven...he tried to stop the fight, ow can we have an ally in our midst that dismisses fighting? the thing we grew up with and live for?". He asked her sternly. Raven sighed. "Does it matter? you have to fight someday in your life, I am sure he is not a monk, perhaps he wanted to keep peace between us, he did say that."Why do you care? it was your idea to slaughter everyone here!". Draken said. Raven nodded. "Im afraid you are incorrect. I planned on killing the Argonian for trying to rob us on a rather fruitfull deal". She teased.
Draken laughed and got up and walked towards Modius. Raven followed closely and stood behind them. "Gentlemen! may we join you?". He asked. Raven kept staring at Modeus, he did not seem like a vampire, he was more human-like. Raven harbored a deep and evergrowing hate for humans. Se turned away and glanced around the large area. Many vampires dining in the table, drinking away and laughing, atleast this made her feel welcome.

Modeus continued sitting with his ’friends’ least they were kind to him. Truth be known Modeus didn’t get to close to anyone, of any ’kind’. but he seemed at peace, and people around him seemed used to him being there. Soon the Nord at the table burped, and laughed excusing himself then waved at Draken and Raven. “Aye welcome to are fine table, table of misfits, but a table none the least!” he bellowed then took another sip from his bottle, dinking a little slower not a woman nearby.
“So what brings you to this find table good sir, and ma’m.” he bowed his head toward them. Modeus also smiled a little and scooted over and made sure there were enough chairs. The Dunmer at the table just gave a nod before continued to talk to Modeus about his strange brother. “Wish I HAD a brother still, sadly, I got turned and he got eaten.” he laughed. Modeus blinked then looked a little uncomfortable. “well that’s…sad to hear.” he stated. The Nord looked over to them. “Ah sirs, you never seen nothing like the vast open sea, I was a sea dog, captain of me own ship until we crashed on that forsaken beach and were attacked my blood thirsty Vampires!” He stated. Modeus looked at the Nord with a strange face then sighed.
“I’ve never seen the sea.” he stated. The Dunmer looked up to Raven and Draken, well here we are not shutting up, now your turn talk about yourselves some aye.” he stated,

Draken smiled and sat down. Raven sat next to him and kept her head down..a pity there was no female vampires nearby but she did not let it bother that much. "This table seems like its worth the time". Raven said. "It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Draken Decimus Vladmir. This is my sister Rav--". Raven interrupted him. "I am Raven Meridius Vladmir". She said silently. Draken smiled at the others. Unlike the humans, these vampires where *fun* to be with.
"Me and my brother where born with vampirism three hundred years ago. We have been alive all this time, never been turned or bitten. I really do not think we have the time to give our lifes story because truly it would take awhile". She chuckled. Draken grinned. "it is a pity for your brother...we have a few family issues as well.." Draken told the Dunmer
"The sea is rather remarkable..I remember it dearly when that blasted sea dragon killed few of the crew and the woman my brother loved..now he has no bride. We had stolen a few artifacts from the Altmer archives in Summerset isles..that night while fleeing, a sea dragon came and attacked us, we where the only surivors known, we got stranded on Valenwood when Camoran invaded..a very memorable time, the only time I am at sea bad things happen unfortenetly". She said.

The Dunmer nodded. “I see. Family, cant live with them, sure as he** cant live without them.” he nodded. Modeus smiled a little. Then looked to Raven as she spoke of the sea. “uh, so…sea dragons...are real?” he asked a little quietly. Almost as if shy. The Nord blinked then grinned. “it’s a pleasure to meet you.” he stated as if slow, but at the moment they walked over he had his mouth full. But least he was welcoming.
Modeus ran a finger around the rim of his glass. “My brother is…well…he’s…” he frowned. “he disapproves of the way I live…but he often protects me…but normally turns to me and say something stupid….about my life being his.” he sighed. “my elder brother is protective, but…he also, carries so much weight in his heart….he forgets sometimes, that I care about him as deeply as I do.” he added then leaned his elbows on the table, his chin on his hands. “he thrusts for battle…so much he even joined the arena, but keeps saying he wants to fight me…but hates me when I wont.” he sighed then smiled. ‘hehe…sorry…” he looked embarrassed. “any who….” he nodded. “have you two decided to stay the night?” he asked.
The Nord yawned and spoke up. “Modeus’ your brother is a pain in the a** hes arrogant, hard headed and mean as a shark in a cage that’s been poked with a stick!” he stated for better lack of words, and Modeus looked at him oddly. O.O;

Raven frowned. "They are real..centuries ago they where. I do not know now. If you where a vampire, you would know. Hopefully they are extinct like their cousins on land. The land dragons never bothered me, the ones at sea can be a thorn on your foot". Raven said, drinking away.
"Mm so you do enjoy battle?". He asked Modeus. Raven mumbled and started to flip her coin. Raven turned to the Dunmer "Indeed. We cant live without family..many times you need them for your own benefit". She said, refering to her rightful throne and her deceitful father.
Draken leaned back on his chair. "I suppose we will stay tonight. Hours ago there where Vampire slayers in SKingrad..we lured them into a trap and killed them. But I do know its not over, more will come. Raven & me came here for refuge atleast. We will move on by nightfall tommorow". Draken said.

Modeus turned toward Draken, “humm…its complicated. I’d rather not go into detail…but our adoptive father was a member of the ‘Blades’…he thought my elder brother and I the way of the blade…once I fought to keep places safe…and enjoyed it…” he stated then took a drink of water. “when our father…disappeared into war, he told us he wanted us to live in peace, after that my blade brought me no happiness.’ he stated. “And now my brother only hunts for a worthy appoint like our father.” he stated.
The Nord nodded. Then blinked. “aye sea dragons, don’t thinks I’ve ever seen one of them.” he added. The Dunmer looked to Draken and Raven wide eyed. “wow a massacre?” he blinked in amazement. “I bet that was a sight to see! Hah did you slaughter the lot? Hahah!” he chuckled. The Nord laughing also. “oi, you didn’t lead them here did you?” he whispered. So others in the room would get alarmed about Draken and Raven again. Modeus just looked at them too.

Raven laughed and stroked the end of her long hair. "A massacre? no. It was more of a small battle. I have seen massacre many times over. Its beautiful. Offcourse if its a massacre of your enemies". She said, continuing the flip the coin. "I wish there was a female here...Draken needs a woman but they all seem to die or betray us". She teased, trying to get under her brother`s skin and messing with him. "Shut up!". He said. Draken looked up when the Dunmer asked about the vampire hunters finding them. Raven and Draken looked at each other with an alarmed look. "That I cannot answer. All the vampire hunters are dead, unless someone brave enough goes inside bloodcrust cavern and tortures them for answers then we have a bit of a problem.". Draken said, loking at the Dunmer.
Raven put her coin away and sat back, crossing her legs. "I fear no vampire slayer or any hunter for that matter. They are dead, no more will come until the following week, however the aftermath will lure in other foes and hunters, more cunning and dangerous than the vampire hunters. Me and my brother wont stay for long, we shall leave soon, you have nothing to fear". Raven said.

The Dunmer watched them then nodded. “ah I see. Well we should be safe then.” he smirked. Before looking back at Draken and laughed. “ahh lonely sir? Well there are a few women here but there either taken, or well….never ‘taken’ if you get my drift.’ he smirked. Then looked back to raven, On other hand there are plenty meant here. He chuckled then waved his hands. “hehe k-kiding.” he laughed.
Modeus sighed. “if any were to come here…I don’t think they would last long, there are some skilled fighters here.” he added. Modeus looked up at the Dunmers comment and blinked. “that’s low.” he sighed deeply then shook his head. “If you want love, anyone here would do.” he stated looking around the room. “If you want true love….well its not here.” he sighed.
“Oi!” the other two gasped. Looking at Modeus annoyed. “you read it wrong, You two have a person to love no?” he asked. They blinked and nodded a little embarrassedly. Modeus nodded calmly. “so indeed you couldn’t truly love anyone else, as for those guys over there, they just like to lead women into there rooms, and those people over there are married, along with that guy, who well….goes another way.” Modeus stated calmly. The Nord blinked. The Dunmer seemed a little lost in thought then smirked. “Modeus, only one who can point out every person in here and tell you there life’s story before they could!” the Nord laughed.

Draken frowned. "Never believed in true love anyways..there is no time for love, power conquers all!..and Raven does not got after men..or women for that matter. Her looks and seductive ways are just for luring in poor saps..all a ruse".He stated.
Raven rolled her eyes to Draken. "Mmm yes well I wasn`t the one to fall in *love* if that is what you called it..with a Imperial mortal and then cause the demise of our own clan.". Raven spat, getting up from her seat. "Excuse me gentlemen..I must retrieve my gear anf maybe get a snack before I slumber". She said, getting up and walking away.
Draken sighed and started to make a face on the wooden table with his nails. "These assassins are very cunning and extremely trained..I wouldn`t underestimate them". He said. "Well Modeus, judging by the knowledge of you have of everyone here..you must stick here often".

Modeus and the others watched Raven snap at her bother and walk away, the Nord giggled and then scoffed drinking a few more gulps of his bottle of blood.
Modeus looked back toward Draken watching his hands a moment then looked up toward his face then sighed looking down at his own hands. “Yes…I’ve been here quite a wile, you could say that. I help out here when able.” he nodded. “My elder brother too.” he added. “but it’s a long story, no need to bore one with tales of the past, were here, and that’s about it.” he smiled lightly.

(((OOC: NP..just think harder ))) Draken nodded. "I agree with you, the past is past for a reason and the future holds greater glory!". He said raising his bottle of blood and drinking it to the last drop. "Gentlemen, it has been truly a pleasure. A few matters I have to attend to". He said, walking up from the table and heading out. Draken followed Raven and touched her shoulder. "Raven..what was that about?". He asked. Raven frowned and turned around, looking at him with a angered face. "Your foolish decisions plunged us all into turmoil..where are we now? avoiding slayers and luring them into traps..clever, yes but if we where in our true rightful seats we could wipe them out with one quick stroke..we where exiled from our own home! that is why we do not negotiate with the humans! they are pathetic and weak and blinded. We are stronger and more cunning, we are the children of the night, sons and daughters of the night mother..we answer to no one but them! if we feel pity for them..the very species that seeks to purge us from the land, we will bring ourselves down to their failure and weaken ourselves to the point of defeat!". Raven said to him, more concerned than ever. Draken sighed. She was correct. He was speechless but managed to say a few things. "Raven I love you and I care for you deeply. I understand what you are feeling. What I did was a foolish decision, I was blinded and lost, but I am not defeated and I am not dead. Revenge is almost within our grasp. Store your anger for later and save it for the right time. I cannot have you turn on me, we have too many enemies already. Once we get our power and once we restore our honor things will be different! We will change things. Meanwhile, get some rest, feed on some people, do whatever you like tonight with no problems". Draken said firmly. Raven raised her head and did not say a word. She hugged Draken with a passion and wrapped her arms around him. Draken kissed her on the forehead and released her. "Everything will be right again. We will take out the assassins and then head find out where the Elder council is." Raven nodded and punched him in the shoulder lightly. "Dont worry about it. Go and find a wench or two for yourself tonight..enjoy yourself. I need some time to think". She said, walking off to get her armor and weapon`s as well as Draken`s. Draken smiled and walked off, studying the area looking for a female or atleast something to do.

Modeus looked up at Draken and nodded. “it was nice meeting you.” he stated. “I agree with what you said the future is for glory!” the Nord gloated and waved then went back on to chatting with the others at the table. Everything remained calm still. Only Modeus couldn’t held to notice the sister and brother’s tight bound, it made him think of his once kind relationship with his brother. Which now felt so empty.
But not every thing remained calm, it was broken as soon as a glass bottle smashed unto the floor spilling red lucid out. There stood a huge man, A High Elf perhaps? But his body was bulky instead of lean. His face more masculine. White hair spiked backwards and no bangs, also his armor was of all white, or gray. Piercing blue eyes.
Here this man held up a Bosmer Vampire with greasy black hair up by the front of there shirt. “Repeat what you said to me!” he shouted yanking the man closer, glaring him in the eyes. The vampire glared back. “I said something along the lines of the fact you are not welcome here! You’re a low life, fruit sucking undead--” the vampire didn’t get to finish before the man haled off and slammed his fist right in the center of the vampire’s face and let him fall back into the counter, spilling another bottle of blood.
The Bosmer Vampire yelled and cursed a few times jumping up, and a few others gathered, wanting to see a good fight between the two. “want a piece of me to!? Get out of my way!” the bulky man growled. A few backed off. But others just kept trying to get a fight started, antagonizing the Vampire Bosmer some more. But the man in white sat at the bar and ordered a Ale. “Hold the Blood.” he smirked lightly. Unaware, or ignoring, the Vampire Bosmer behind him plotting who-knows-what,
